Visual Diff on OS X

I just found a python script that will take the output from svn diff and run it through FileMerge.app so there’s a nice pretty visual diff to look at.

It’s called svndiffshim.py and can be found here.

To use it, copy the script somewhere (like ~/bin) and make sure it’s executable (chmod +x ~/bin/svndiffshim.py)

Then add something like the following to your ~/.subversion/config file…

[helpers]

diff-cmd = /path/to/svndiffshim.py
